Model
Eight Channel Digital Mixer with DSP Effects
Owners Manual
Introduction
Thank you very much for purchasing the Fostex VM08.
The VM08 digital mini-mixer does all internal signal processing digitally.
The input section consists of eight analog input channels including four for
microphones. The output section, in addition to normal analog outputs such
as two channel stereo and a headphone output, also has S/P DIF digital opti-
cal output with a 44.1 kHz sampling frequency: and 20 bit quantization.
The internal buss is two channel stereo L/R, plus an independent Effects buss
(1, 2) and an AUX buss (1, 2).
In addition to each input channel, an EQ is also provided for the master out-
put. The VM08 also incorporates high performance DSP multi-effects on two
channels that operate by A.S.P. (Fostex Advanced Signal Processing Technol-
ogy*) exclusively developed by Fostex. This allows a wide range of equalizing
and effects processing. All settings, including mix and effects settings, are
stored in scene memory, and a desired scene memory can be recalled instan-
taneously. Although small and lightweight, the VM08 is a high performance
unit. Please read this manual carefully before operation to understand all
functions of the VM08.
* See page 18 for more details on the A.S.P. (Fostex Advanced Signal Process-
ing Technology).

Before Operation (IMPORTANT Be sure to read below before first using your VM08.)
* Remove the insulation paper
The VM08 uses a memory back up battery inside. You
will find a piece of insulation paper attached to avoid
current dissipation. When using the VM08 for the first time,
turn ON the power and then remove the insulation paper. The
insulation paper is easily removed by pulling it in direc-
tion of arrow as shown at right.
* Caution when powering on
There is no power switch in VM08.
Power is switched ON/OFF simply by plugging and
unplugging the VM08’s AC adaptor plug.
Be sure to switch off power to the monitor ampli-
fier connected to the VM08 output or fully retard
the input level controls to prevent dam-
age to connected speakers when
switching power ON/OFF in this
manner.
< Caution >
If the VM08 is not to be used for a long time, be sure
to unplug the AC adaptor from the wall outlet.
* Reset of VM08
It is possible for the computer to malfunction at power ON/OFF or by electro induction noise from light-
ning. In this happens, switch the power ON/OFF to the VM08 several times. If it does not return to normal
operation, press the rear panel [RESET] switch with a slender ball point pen or similar tool. This returns all
settings to the initial figures setup at shipping from the plant. This procedure can be used to clear all
stored scene memories.
<Please remember this!>
If reset is executed with the INPUT and MASTER raised simultaneous with start up of this unit, the
LEVEL ADJUST key/FADER ADJUST key will blink. This indicates that the VM08 has entered the
Level Adjust Mode/Fader Adjust Mode because of the difference between present fader position
and the fader position at start up following reset. To exit from this mode, retard all faders to the
[MIN] position, and the key blinking will stop.
* Internal battery for the memory back up
The internal battery has a life expectancy of about two years.
When the battery runs low and its voltage falls below a cer-
tain level, the warning message "BattEmpty" will appear in
the display. If you continue to use the unit an old battery,
your stored scene memories will be lost when the power is
turned off. Do not try to replace the battery yourself as there are
no user-serviceable parts inside. Please ask your Fostex distribu-
tor or an authorized service station to do the job.
<Please remember this!>
There is an automatic internal battery voltage check function in the VM08.
Refer to [Setup mode] on page 27.

VM08 Initial State
The following explains what to do the first time you use the VM08 right out of the shipping
carton. When the AC adaptor is plugged into the AC wall outlet and the power cord plugged
into the DC IN connector, power will be applied and the VM08, and the display/operating panel
lamps will light in the modes explained below. This is the same sa when the CPU is reset by
pressing the RESET switch.
* Character display section:
Following the <<FOSTEX>> ->
<<VM08>> display, [Init.Mix] will be
displayed. If the INPUT fader/MAS-
TER fader is manipulated in this
state, [E] will be lit behind the
[Init.Mix] display (Refer to next
page).
* MASTER fader section:
The MASTER fader position is in-
dicated by numbers 00 ~ 99.
The initial setting is [00] which is
the initial mix setting (The fader
[MIN] position).
* Scene number display section:
The current active scene number (00
~ 20) is displayed.
In the initial setting, [00] will be dis-
played.
* Channel fader display section:
After entering the channel param-
eter edit mode, the INPUT fader
position of the channel selected by
the CH ON/CH SEL key will be in-
dicated by numbers 00 ~ 99. In
the initial state, nothing is dis-
played. For details, refer to [Chan-
nel parameter edit mode] on page
14.
* Level display section:
In the channel parameter edit mode and
fader adjust mode, the signal level input
to each INPUT jack for channels 1 ~ 8
will be indicated by the pre-fader. In
other words, regardless to the INPUT
fader set position, the input signal level
will be constantly displayed. Because,
INPUT of channels 1 ~ 4 must handle low
level signals such as from a microphone,
a TRIM knob is provided for each chan-

Normal Mix Mode
Normal mix mode means each INPUT fader/MASTER fader is active, and the ON/OFF of each
channel is operational so basic mixing functions can be executed. When the VM08 is in [Initial
state of VM08], as explained in the previous section, if the INPUT fader of the channel to which
a signal is being input (Example: The channel 1 INPUT fader if a sound source is connected to
INPUT 1.) and the MASTER fader is raised, signals will be output from the rear panel STEREO
OUT L, R jacks and the S/P DIF optical connector. Also, if headphones are connected to the
PHONES jack, the same signal will be heard in the headphones. The headphone monitoring
sound volume can be adjusted by the top panel PHONES knob. Throughout these operation,
the VM08 LCD display will change as explained below.
* Character display section:
[E] lights following the [Init.Mix] display. This [E] symbol
means "edit" and indicates that the setting had been changed

Mute of the various input channel/master output:
Mute ON/OFF of channels 1 ~ 4, 5/6, 7/8 and master output can be done using the CH ON/CH
SEL key. Normally, the CH ON/CH SEL keys for channels 1 ~ 4, 5/6, 7/8 and MASTER are all ON
(key LED is lit). Therefore, when the CH ON/CH SEL key of the channel you wish to mute is
pressed, sound from that channel only will be muted (the CH ON/CH SEL key LED of the channel
that was pressed will be extinguished). Mute ON/OFF alternates with each pressing of the CH
ON/CH SEL key.
<Useful information !>
In addition to operating with the CH ON/CH SEL key,
mute ON/OFF of master output is also possible using
the foot switch (Optional Model 8051).
In the foot switch functional setting is set for [Mute
function of master output] in the [Setup mode] of
the VM08, mute can be executed by stepping on the
foot switch. For details on the [Setup mode], please
refer to page 27.
<Useful information !>
In the normal mix mode, if the position of the INPUT fader/MASTER fader before switching off power
is different from when power is switched on (refer to schematic below), the FADER ADJUST and LEVEL
ADJUST key LED’s (red) will flash. This is because the fader setting before switching off power is in
memory, and the VM08 is indicating that fader and level adjustment is possible.
The fader position can be reset to the position prior to switching off power, and the level position can
be deliberately set to the present sound volume setting.
* To return to the setting before switching off power:
Press the flashing FADER ADJUST key (It will enter the fader adjust mode). Subsequently, adjust each
fader position by referring to [Fader adjust mode] explanation.
* To set to the present fader position:
Press the flashing LEVEL ADJUST key and the VM08 will enter the level adjust mode.
Then setup by following [Level adjust mode] on page 27.
If it is not necessary to match the fader positions, the FADER ADJUST key flashing will extinguished
after all faders are moved and the VM08 will return to the normal mix mode.

fader). The VM08 is set to POST (post fader) in the initial state.
<Useful information!>
* The EFFECT SEND signal adjusted in channels 1 ~ 4, 5/6 and 7/8 is sent to the VM08 internal DSP
multi-effects (EFF1 or EFF 2). The operating explanation used here is based on the effects type
([Norm. HALL] in EFF 1, [CHORUS] in EFF 2) which are preset in EFF 1/EFF 2. Twenty-eight preset
effects for EFF 1 and 38 types for EFF 2 are provided in the VM08.
To select other effects or adjust effect parameters, refer to [Effect edit mode] on page 18.
* Because EFFECT SEND is set in the post fader (the signal controllable by the INPUT fader) in the
initial state, in this explanation it is necessary for the INPUT fader to be raised on the channel in
which the EFFECT SEND level is to be adjusted. In addition, the MASTER fader to adjust output
level from ST OUT L, R is also raised. To setup of the EFFECT SEND PRE/POST, see page 17.

* A. S. P. (Fostex Advanced Signal Processing Technology)
The A. S. P. is an exclusive new digital effect processing technology designed by
Fostex. This method extracts maximum efficiency from the limited DSP power.
It achieves an overwhelmingly high density Early Reflection sound and wonder-
fully smooth High Dump response through the H. F. A. (Harmonic Feedback
Algorithm). Also, it carries out an elaborate reverb simulation with clear sounds
through the H. D. L. P. (Hi-Density Logarithmic Processing), which eliminates
the mutual interference between the numerous integrated delay modules and
reduce the impurity and girt of the sound.
Effect Edit Mode
* H. F. A. (Harmonic Feedback Algorithm)
There is one of indispensable elements in the natural echo called “Early Reflection Sound,” which is
usually sacrificed in commercial reverb products in order to reduce costs. (In practice, the Early
Reflection Sound means the very first reverberated sound that bounces back from walls, floors and
ceilings of concert halls). The entire reverb sound quality depends on this Early Reflection Sound
and how closely it can resemble the real echo. The H. F. A. is an algorithm that enables the effect unit
to reproduce a clear and natural Early Reflection Sound by applying an ideal harmonic feedback to
each delay module.
* H. D. L. P. (Hi-Density Logarithmic Processing)
The reverb sounds consist of lots of small delay elements combined in a complex way, which are
produced by many delay modules inside the effect unit. In order to obtain smooth and comfortable
reverb sounds, it is very important to efficiently organize the relationship between each delay mod-
ule and minimize negative mutual interference. The H. D. L. P. is a technology which applies efficient
logarithmic processing to each delay module, so that they can work in the most efficient way in order
to eliminate harmful reverb elements and roughness. This makes it possible to establish high density
and transparent sounds.
Before the partical operation, we will briefly discuss the effect functions here such as Reverb,
Delay, Chorus, and Flanger, which are integrated in the VM08.
Reverb:
The so called Reverb effect consists of various reflec-
tion sounds mixed together. For example, when you
clap your hands in a tunnel, you will hear the sound
linger even after you stop clapping your hands. This
is the Reverb.
The sounds we normally hear in daily life have three
types of sounds mixed together, i.e., “Direct sound,”
“Early Reflection sound” and “Late Reflection sound.”
The Direct sound means the sound directly reaches
the ears from the sound source. The Early Reflection
sound means the sound that comes after the Direct
sound and has rebound off the wall of the tunnel up
to a few times. The Late Reflection sound means that
the sound rebounds many times long after the Direct
sound has disappeared. Our ears normally hear the
“Direct sound” - “Early Reflection sound” - “Late Re-
flection sound” in the order.
Delay:
This is the effect to added a delayed sound to the
original sound. You can obtain a richer sound or com-
pletely change the original source sound by using the
Delay.
Chorus:
This makes the one original sound appear to have
many sources. The Chorus is used to widen or thicken
the original sound.
Flanger:
The Flanger is one of applications of the Delay. This
is used to create a sound like a jet airplane ascending
or descending.
The VM08 offers high quality ambient effects by employing the A. S. P. (Fostex Advanced Signal
Processing Technology), which is exclusively developed by Fostex. With the A. S. P., you can
obtain an incomparably clean and high density Hall Reverb, overwhelmingly clear Room Re-
verb and wonderfully hi-fidelity Plate Reverb. In addition to these typical Reverbs, the VM08
provides not only various practical algorithms such as Delay, Chorus, Flanger and Pitch Bend,
but some combinations of these are also available, e.g., Delay+Reverb.

Scene Memory Mode
The VM08 provides 21 scene memories (scene numbers 00--20).
Of these, scene number [00] is a preset scene named "Initial Mix," and cannot be modified by
the user. Your own settings can be stored in scene numbers [01]--[20]. Each scene stores the
contents of Normal Mix mode, Channel Parameter Edit mode, and Effect Edit mode as a set.
An eight-character alphanumeric name can be assigned to each scene memory you store.
Storing a scene memory
Here's how to store the current mix data as a scene memory.
1. Press the SCENE STORE key.
The number and name of the currently selected
scene will blink.
2. Rotate the DATA encoder to select the scene
number [01]--[20] into which you wish to store
the settings.
3. Press the ENTER key.
The store destination scene number will be
finalized, and you will now be able to input the
scene name. The current scene name will be dis
played.
< Note >
If you select scene number [00] and attempt to
store, the display will indicate [Read Only], and
the operation will be ignored.
4. Use the DATA encoder and cursor keys (EFF 1
key / EFF 2 key) to input the scene name.
A scene name of up to eight characters can be
assigned, using the following characters and
symbols.
5. When you have finished entering the scene
name, press the ENTER key.
<Useful Information!>
The scene memories you store are preserved
even when the power is turned off. However if
you reset the VM08 (by pressing the RESET
key), all scene memories other than scene num-
ber [00] will return to the initial state.
If you decide to halt the process during the scene
memory store procedure, press the EXIT key. From
any point in the procedure, this will return you to
Normal Mix mode.

* Regardless of the position of the faders when
a scene is recalled, the sound will be output
at the stored volumes from the instant of the
recall. If you are monitoring through head
phones, be careful of the sudden loud sounds
that may occur when a scene is recalled.
Level adjust
When the physical fader locations and the actual volumes do not match (for example, after a
scene memory has been recalled), you can use this function to force the volume levels to the
current fader locations.
1. Press the LEVEL ADJUST key.
The display will ask [Level Adj?].
2. Press the ENTER key.
The Level Adjust operation will be executed.
This will cause the volumes to change to the
current fader locations.
Fader adjust
When the physical fader locations and the actual volumes do not match (for example, after a
scene memory has been recalled), you can use this function to manually adjust the fader loca-
tions.
< Note >
Fader Adjust will function in Normal Mix mode as well as after a scene is recalled. In Normal Mix
mode, the FADER ADJUST key / LEVEL ADJUST key will blink to indicate that the fader locations
before the VM08's power is turned off are different than the fader locations when the power was
turned on.
1. Press the FADER ADJUST key.

Directly recalling a scene memory
In addition to the method described earlier in "Scene recall," a scene memory can also be
recalled directly using the following method of stepping consecutively through the stored scenes.
< Note >
Only user scene memories (scene numbers [01]--[20]) can be selected using this method of direct
recall. Preset scene number [00] cannot be recalled.
1. Hold down the EXIT key and press the SCENE
RECALL key. 2. Press the EFF 1 key or EFF 2 key.
Pressing the EFF 2 key will make the scene
number change in the forward direction.
Pressing the EFF 1 key will make the scene
number change in the backward direction.
3. To exit this mode, press the EXIT key.
You will exit scene direct recall mode and
return to normal mix mode.
<Useful Information!>
Scene direct recall can also be performed using a separately sold foot switch.
If you connect an unlatch type foot switch (e.g., model 8051) to the FOOT SW jack, you can use the foot
switch to perform the procedure described above.
When you press the foot switch, you will enter scene direct recall mode, and pressing the foot switch
again will step through the scene numbers. If you hold down the foot switch, you will return to the
previous scene number. Here too, you can press the EXIT key to exit scene direct recall mode.
In order to use a foot switch to recall scenes, you must make the appropriate setting in "Setup mode"
described later in this manual. For details refer to "Setup mode" on the following page.
Clearing a scene memory
